March Dream Summary

It’s March, what! It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster the past few months, and I’ve been working behind the scenes to get caught up after getting way behind. At first, I had planned to catch-up perfectly and write a few old entries, but I decided that things don’t have to be perfect; I can just restart with March.

So here we are. Reflecting on March and really the last three months of 2024. My dreaming has been incredible lately, with so much recall across January, February, and March. I have been putting more techniques into practice to boost my recall, and I think it’s been working! I’ll need to validate with my data, and I’m eager to dig into that shortly.

And, on that note, as I continue to catch up on my back log of work, I am looking ahead to some amazing new data projects on the horizon. I’ve probably been saying that for a long time, but it has taken much longer than I expected to handle my HUGE quantities of data. I will give it the time it needs because I am SO proud of this work. I suspect it will take the rest of the year to get things really going, but I’m starting to make real progress.

Of course, lots of travel and other personal stuff going on, which has naturally reflected in dreams. March was generally less lucid but chock-full of experience. I love it all: the good, the bad, and the ugly spider bug nightmares! Bring it!

Anyway, more to come…

xozzz,
Allison

December Dream Summary

December was another strange month. Lots of travel home for celebrations of life and celebrations of Christmas. It was both beautiful and heartbreaking, and I’m still processing and reflecting on all of it. Meanwhile, I had quite the surge of dreams in December, despite the craziness of the season and this particular year. Since I’m still catching up after loss, I am going to keep it short and continue to move slowly. But nonetheless, my dreams and data are active and present, and a big part of my healing experience. Happy 2024!

November Dream Summary

I lost someone very close to me in November. For privacy, I'll leave it at that, but what an experience. I'm grateful for the time I spent with them and learned a lot about the end of life process. It's both profoundly sad and extraordinarily special. So, November was unusual. I spent a lot of time out of time, if you will. Sleep was lacking. Emotions ran wild. I'm curious and opening to the world of grief and loss. I'm curious and open to what my dreams may reveal in time. ✨🕊️

October Dream Summary

As usual, I am a little late to publish this month’s dream summary! October was super busy, especially with some new and exciting dream projects. I’ve probably said that a few times, but I’ve been making significant projects on some things behind the scenes. I’m not sure how they’ll be shown publicly, but I’ll figure it out at some point. Dreams and data are my superpower and I’d love for everyone to see.

I’ve had some travel in the beginning of October and the end, but I’ve had so much time in between to focus on dreams and get tons of sleep. It was a bit of a weird month, especially with low lucid numbers, but I try not to get worked up about it. 

In any case, I am as busy as ever writing and reporting, reviewing and planning. It’s all things dreams all the time over here. Just the way I like it.

Anyway, time for some stats!

September Dream Summary

September was a super interesting month. I ramped up travel again with some fun local adventures followed by a larger ladies trip to Sedona. Given the spiritual nature of Sedona, I anticipated lots of dream experiences, especially aided with some dream-specific supplements. The trip was a wonderful emotional whirlwind with great friends, but surprisingly lacking in dream recall overall. Nonetheless, I try not to get disappointed when dream expectations don't match reality (a healthy reminder for life overall!), especially since I know other magical and mundane experiences are always around the corner.

Otherwise, September marks the end of another season/quarter of dreams, and I love going through my larger data sets to look at trends and patterns. Early this month, U started a new data-focused project that I'm looking forward to developing further in the coming months. Of course, the extensive records and data that I keep is the thing I bring most to the dream community, and I'll eventually figure out better ways to share.

In the meantime, on to the stats!

August Dream Summary

August was such a delightfully slow-paced month! With so much travel throughout the spring and summer, it was really nice to spend the entire month at home and with our community. We’re super involved in various volunteer efforts nearby, and we spent a lot of time in August getting back into the regular habit. At the same, we intentionally focused on supporting our local businesses and participated in several fundraising events for causes we care about. Being at home in August has been so welcome and so wonderful.

And all this home time had the added benefit of extended quality sleep time and a ton of dreams to boot! August was my highest dream recall month this year and my third-highest month of all time! Of course such high recall also brings a lot of favorites! The list below is absolutely bonkers! After several “slow” months of dreaming due to my busy schedule, reaching a super-high recall month was such a gift. I expect the remainder of 2023 to be a little up and down, given more getaways and our long family travel for the holidays. Nevertheless, it’s always exciting to see how each month evolves.

On to August stats!

July Dream Summary

I feel like I say this every month, but wow! What at doozy! July was also filled with so much travel, including local trips and family trips. It’s always such a joy to visit the family over the holidays, and this year we decided to make it a summer-thing, too! Visiting two families in two cities is always super busy, but we wouldn’t have it any other way! Luckily, they all know that I’m a bit of a sleeper, so I didn’t have too much trouble keeping pace with my dream practice. It can be a challenge to stay on top of things while on the road, so to speak, but I’ve gotten into a good habits while out of town that I was about to maintain throughout this month’s adventures.

Otherwise, my dream focus has been to maintain my current “day-to-day” dreaming, and I have’t been doing an additional practices with lucidity or growth. With so much travel, it’s always nice to just let the dreams come as they are, without trying to get into to much extra. Things will calm down a bit in August and September, and I’m looking forward to some quieter days and more lucidity! That also means ramping back up my meditations, reality checks, intentions, and all the other good lucid boosting practices. Looking forward to seeing how it develops - or perhaps taking more time to rest!

June Dream Summary

June kind of skyrocketed back up in dreams right at the beginning of the month! Which is always super fun, especially after such a low period in May. I also experienced much more lucidity, with quite a few longer and more detailed “regular” dreams. I love seeing how the “shape” of dreams change over time, and for some reason, June created so many dreams of interesting shapes! In fact, one of my longest dreams with the highest amount of detail happened on the 30th. It was a such wild and fun experience with quintessential dream-like elements. Those kinds of experiences make me super happy!

One of my favorite things about June is that it’s full of lovely celebration! The first of which is my “Dreamiversary,” the date that I started my spreadsheet and my ultimate dedication to the practice. My Dreamiversary is June 7th, and this year marked five years! What a milestone! And on that night, I recorded 5,214 dreams. Every day I am astonished by ever growing collection! WOW! I’m looking forward to many more Dreamiversaries and projects and everything in between! To five more years and beyond!

May Dream Summary

This year has been an absolute whirlwind and May, of course, was no exception! May is my birthday and anniversary month, which is always a cause for a ton of celebration! My husband and I celebrated both of our birthdays (a week apart) and our anniversary with a tropical adventure in French Polynesia. We also had several local weekend getaways and smaller celebrations throughout the month. All of this activity tends to produce fewer dreams, and that happened in May to be sure. May 2023 is one of my all time low dreaming month, but my expectations were managed and I wasn’t too bummed about it. After five years of doing this work, I have definitely come to terms with the ebb and flow of dreams; especially with so much activity. Let’s get to the stats!

April Dream Summary

omg. April was one of the most intense months I’ve had in a long while! I’m super excited to go into May (my birthday month!) after such a demanding April. It went by lightning fight and was filled to the brim with so.much.life! All good things, but busy, intense things at the same time. A few things knocked me off my daily routine (travel, etc.) and other things had me a little stressed out! It is absolutely no surprise that my dream life took a massive nosedive given how much attention I was focused on other bigger happenings.

Regardless, I had a great month, and I’m about to enter a very busy travel season that will stay busy through August. Though, I suspect there will be less other kinds of things happening in life during this travel period, but I am sure my dreams will look different again in the next few months. In any case, let me officially wrap up April and get into May - Happy Birthday to me!

March Dream Summary

March was a big month of dreaming, wrapping up a big season! The ebb and flow of dreaming is always so interesting, and the last three months have been super charged. Further, I reached dream 5,000 (WOW) on March 11, and it was such an exciting milestone. The next few months will see lots of travel and fun plans, so I am curious to discover how my dream life will take shape during a busier stretch. With so much travel, I’m actually hoping for a little bit of an ebb in dreams, as it becomes a bit overwhelming to catch up sometimes! Nonetheless, I have a pretty solid system for when I fall behind, but I much prefer to be up to date. And that’s thing with dreams - it’s all about being flexible… So, we shall see!

5,000 Dreams Recorded!

5,000 Dreams over 1,739 Nights


It’s time to break out the bubbly (again!) in celebration of recording 5,000 dreams (OMG) in full detail since June 7, 2018! When I started this project in 2018, I was remembering one to dreams per week. PER WEEK. With time, dedication, and patience, I continue to record completed and detailed dream narratives three to four times per night and sometimes upward of seven to nine. I said the exact same thing at my last milestone, and I continue to be so impressed by the consistency of which my dreams behave. It’s astonishing!

How incredible is that? 5,000!!!!!

What a milestone! This work has been such an amazing, and my database is growing and growing. With 90+ different metrics per dream, I have so many patterns, insights, and techniques to work with. I've got several ongoing projects with all this amazing data in the works... one day I will set them free!

For each of these 1K milestones, I like to put a spotlight on just a few of data points covering the last 5,000 dreams! I am beyond proud of this work.

The duration is June 7, 2018 - March 11, 2023 or 1,739 Nights.⁠

And because I love data and stats so much (all tracked through a massive spreadsheet I created), here are some interesting gems about those 5,000 dreams since I started recording them in detail.

February Dream Summary

February dreams were off the charts, with an uptick in lucidity, overall recall and tons of long detail! It’s always exciting to see bumps like this, though dreams always ebb and flow. I attribute the spike to the seven books I read in February dedicated to either sleep or dreams! Of course, I tend to have high recall already, but the books seemed to have given that extra boost. But that’s not all! I’ve been experimenting with some new bedtime routines to optimize my sleep, re-introduced some days of meditation for closer study (more consistency is on the way!), and I’ve generally felt a higher dreaming energy lately!

And one more thing - it’s my favorite dreaming update! Many people love red light pens to record their dreams in the dark. I hate them! I need a very particular kind of pen to write, and it’s taken me a long time to test dozens of pens to find the best one for me. But, I’ve been getting increasingly sloppy with my night scribbles in darkness, so I had to find a solution. So, I found a small book light with a red bulb. It’s perfect! I absolutely love it. Now I simply switch it on in the middle of the night, and it gives me enough red light to see my notepad easily. Obsessed!

Phew! I guess, “that’s it!” Lol. Loving it. Time for some stats! ✨

January Dream Summary

January sprinted by, wow! I suppose all months seem to zip through time, but for some reason, January felt extra speedy. Getting settled into the new year has been slow, despite the pace of the first month, but it’s been wonderful all the same.

I kicked off many dream projects in January that I am absolutely thrilled about. The most notable is an update to my insane dream spreadsheet. I created it in such a way that it only accommodates five years comfortable. It was such a milestone to complete the five year mark at the end of 2022, and I am so proud of that work! The new 2023-2027 took the entire month to get right. I removed some metrics that proved less interesting, and updated/added new and exciting variables. I can’t wait to see how it goes! I’ve learned so much from 2018-2022, and I think I’ve made the next set even better.

I’ve also been experimenting with some new dream recall practices, improving my bed time and dream time routines, and tidying up my night table with more accessible dream tools. I’m eager to see how these updates effect dreaming in 2023 and beyond!

But for now, let’s look back on January dream stats!

December Dream Summary

Wow! It’s 2023! I had a festive and exciting December, celebrating the holiday with travel and good fun. I also explored various uses of AI, and I am so excited by the possibilities of scale and automation with AI text and images. I’m also considering new ways to visualize dreams in the new year using these tools, so stay tuned!

In the next few weeks, I will be sharing some annual dream data which is always my favorite time of year! Though it take a while to produce. I’ve had some fun stats, including the longest dreaming streak which is very exciting!

In the new year, I am working on more and more data projects, helping to support the non-profit I am a part of, and so many more exciting things. Can’t wait to jump into all of that soon!

But of course, let's look back at December.
